Submitted Manuscripts and Working Papers

D O'Leary, A Uuysal, D Rehkopf, & JJ Gross. (revise and resubmit at Social Science and Medicine). Social status and physical health: The role of negative affect and cognitive reappraisal.
Longitudinal analysis (n = 4000) of the degree to which negative affect mediates the relationship between socioeconomic status and morbidity as well as mortality. In addition, we show that use of cognitive reappraisal moderates this mediation and provides protection against the ill effects (on affect and health) of having low status.

D O'Leary, AB Sussman, & JS Trueblood. (in preparation). Job loss and risk preferences across time.

D O'Leary, C Hutcherson, A Smith, B Shiv, & JJ Gross. (under review). Socioeconomic status and food choice: A value-based decision-making account.
Series of laboratory and survey studies (n = 8000) showing that low SES participants are more likely to choose unhealthy foods than high SES subjects, particularly when low SES is categorized using subjective measures.

D O'Leary & JJ Gross. (under review). Affect regulation improves dietary decision-making under conditions of negative affect.
Series of survey and laboratory studies (n = 1000) showing 1) that fluctuations in negative affect are associated increases in unhealthy food purchases on a college campus, 2) that participants make unhealthy dietary decisions after exposure to a novel, personalized, negative affect induction, 3) and that dietary decision-making improves following instruction in affect regulation.
